George Berkeley: Philosophy of Science George Berkeley announces at the very outset of Three Dialogues Between Hylas and Philonous that the goals of his philosophical system are to demonstrate the reality of genuine knowledge, the incorporeal nature of the soul, and the ever-present guidance and care of God for us. He will do this in opposition to skeptics and atheists. A proper understanding of science,

G. E. M. Anscombe (1919—2001) Elizabeth Anscombe, or Miss Anscombe as she was known, was an important twentieth century philosopher and one of the most important women philosophers of all time. A committed Catholic, and translator of some of Ludwig Wittgenstein’s most important work, she was an influential and original thinker in the Catholic tradition and the Wittgensteinian manner.

The arguments were paradoxes for the ancient Greek philosophers. Because many of the arguments turn crucially on the notion that space and time are infinitely divisible, Zeno

Deduktiv-theoretische Konzeptionen logischer Konsequenz Gemäß der deduktiv-theoretischen Konzeption logischer Konsequenz, Ein Satz X ist genau dann eine logische Konsequenz einer Menge K von Sätzen, wenn X eine deduktive Konsequenz von K ist, das ist, X ist aus K ableitbar oder beweisbar. Die deduktive Konsequenz wird im Hinblick auf den Beweisbegriff in einem korrekten deduktiven System geklärt. Seit, wohl, logisch

Many of the small number of philosophers familiar with Fedorov admit his originality, his independence, his human concern, perhaps even his logic — up to a point. But his resurrection project is viewed with understandable skepticism and often dismissed

Charles Hartshorne: Dipolar Theism From the beginning to the end of his career Charles Hartshorne maintained that the idea that “God is love” was his guiding intuition in philosophy. This “intuition” presupposes both that there is a divine reality and that that reality answers to some positive description of being a loving God.
